(Thousand Foot Krutch Brother John - Original Song Lyrics)

I saw this child who never smiledI told him that's no way to live your lifeI saw him kneel down on his kneesAs he said please, please, pleaseIt's as if I could see inside his mindAnd it reminded me of mineAnd it became clear that he belonged hereAnd he promised me he'd try

If only you could have been thereWith me and my brother JohnWe tried so hard not to carry onBut it was so obvious to everyone who was aroundLet me know if you see him aroundLet me know if you see him downtown

I know there is something better than thisI know there is, there's gotta beI know there is something better than thisI know there is

I know thereIs a place where I can just hang outWith the friends who I hang outWe can have some laughs smile and drink and have a good timeWith all the people we get who I could never forgetLa la, la la la la la la

Lotta things that I would like to sayTo you in your troubled stateBut it's so hard when you're so good at keeping it to yourselfAnd wait till the sun comes up in the morningIf you come back we'll find a place for you

I saw this child who never smiledI told him that's no way to live your lifeI saw him kneel down on his kneesAs he said please, please, pleaseIt's as if I could see inside his mindAnd it reminded me of mineAnd it became clear that he belonged hereAnd he promised me he'd try

If only you could have been thereWith me and my brother JohnWe tried so hard not to carry onBut it was so obvious to everyone who was aroundLet me know if you see him aroundLet me know if you see him downtown

I know there is something better than thisI know there is, there's gotta beI know there is something better than thisI know there is

I know thereIs a place where I can just hang outWith the friends who I hang outWe can have some laughs smile and drink and have a good timeWith all the people we get who I could never forgetLa la, la la la la la la

Lotta things that I would like to sayTo you in your troubled stateBut it's so hard when you're so good at keeping it to yourselfAnd wait till the sun comes up in the morningIf you come back we'll find a place for you
